TECHNICAL FIELD

This specification claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2012-0138180 filed on Nov. 30, 2012, in the KIPO, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

The present specification relates to an organic electronic device in which a novel compound that may improve a life-span, efficiency, a driving voltage drop, and stability of the organic electronic device is contained in an organic material layer.

BACKGROUND ART

An organic electronic device means a device that requires exchanging of electric charges between an electrode using holes and/or electrons and an organic material. The organic electronic device may be largely divided into the following two categories according to an operation principle. The first device is an electric device in which an exciton is formed in an organic material layer by a photon flowing from an external light source to the device, the exciton is separated into electrons and holes, and the electrons and the holes are transferred to the different electrodes and used as current sources (voltage sources). The second device is an electronic device in which holes and/or electrons are injected into an organic material semiconductor forming an interface in respect to an electrode by applying a voltage or a current to two or more electrodes, and operation is performed by the injected electrons and holes.

Examples of the organic electronic device include an organic electronic device, an organic solar cell, an organic photoconductor (OPC), an organic transistor, and the like, and all of the examples require a hole injection or transport material, an electron injection or transport material or a light emitting material in order to drive the device. Hereinafter, an organic light emitting device will be mainly described in detail, but in the organic electronic devices, the hole injection or transport material, the electron injection or transport material, or the light emitting material are operated based on a similar principle.

In general, an organic light emitting phenomenon means a phenomenon that converts electric energy into light energy by using an organic material. The organic electronic device using the organic light emitting phenomenon has a structure which generally includes an anode, a cathode, and an organic material layer disposed therebetween. Herein, the most organic material layers have a multilayered structure constituted by different materials in order to increase efficiency and stability of the organic electronic device, and may be formed of, for example, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, and the like. In the organic electronic device structure, if a voltage is applied between two electrodes, the holes are injected from the anode and the electrons are injected from the cathode to the organic material layer, and when the injected holes and electrons meet each other, an exciton is formed, and light is emitted when the exciton falls to a bottom state. It is known that this organic electronic device has characteristics such as self light emission, high brightness, high efficiency, a low driving voltage, a wide viewing angle, a high contrast, and a high speed response.

In the organic electronic device, the material used as the organic material layer may be classified into a light emitting material and an electric charge transport material, for example, a hole injection material, a hole transport material, an electron transport material, an electron injection material, and the like, according to a function thereof. Further, the light emitting material may be classified into blue, green, and red light emitting materials and yellow and orange light emitting materials required in order to implement better natural colors according to an emission color. Meanwhile, in the case where only one material is used as the light emitting material, since there are problems in that a maximum light emitting wavelength moves to a long wavelength or color purity is lowered due to interaction between molecules, or efficiency of the device is reduced due to a reduced effect of light emission, host/dopant systems may be used as the light emitting material in order to increase the color purity and increase light emitting efficiency through transferring of energy.

In order to allow the organic electronic device to sufficiently exhibit the aforementioned excellent characteristics, first, a material constituting the organic material layer in the device, for example, the hole injection material, the hole transport material, the light emitting material, the electron transport material, the electron injection material, and the like should be supported by stable and efficient materials, but the development of a stable and efficient organic material layer material for organic electronic devices has not yet been sufficiently made. Therefore, there is a continuous demand for developing a novel material, and the development of the material is similarly required for the aforementioned other organic electronic devices.

DISCLOSURE Technical Problem

The present invention has been made in an effort to provide an organic electronic device including a compound that can satisfy conditions required in a material that may be used in the organic electronic device, for example, a life-span, efficiency, a driving voltage drop, stability, and the like, and has a chemical structure performing various roles required in the organic electronic device according to a substituent group.
